Nasty and potentially dangerous insects ... Hornets ...
Living on Bromyard Downs we have a wonderfully full insect population including all sorts of things you do not see in intensively farmed areas or even in towns, but tonight a Hornet flew into my front room.
Being very respectful of these large insects I decided I needed to try to catch the brute in case it decided to investigate me after bed time.
A quick bit of thought and I decided rather than try to squash it or catch it under a glass or something normal like that I wheeled out my 33 year old Henry Hoover. I sucked the brute up quite easily, and got an old 35 mm camera film container to seal the suction hose till the morning, so that I can let it if it is still alive.
I have only seen Hornets twice before. They must be quite rare, so I hope that I have not killed it.
Best wishes from George
